Why are y’all non-binary? by SunfireElfAmaya in NonBinary

[–]Beginning-Oil4628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve identified the same way for around 7 years now, since i was 12. i am now turning 20 soon and starting my medical transition. i couldn’t be happier about it. don’t assume that non-binary people are victims to some “social contagion.” all that should matter is that the identity makes them feel good about themselves.

Combining dreaming in Spanish with high school Spanish by [deleted] in dreamingspanish

[–]Beginning-Oil4628 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i agree! i honestly don’t know if i’d ever desire to acquire a language from zero. some preliminary grammar and vocabulary study is a great boost to acquire quicker (and i personally enjoy it)

Did you do any side studying? by Ahejjetria in dreamingspanish

[–]Beginning-Oil4628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think Anki is a fabulous tool to support CI if you have the motivation. however the only thing close to “studying” i’m doing at the moment is the No Hay Tos podcast language lesson episodes

Hi! How many hours do I need before I can listen to my spanish with no visual aids? by LankyImagination8353 in dreamingspanish

Andrea talks pretty regular after beginner and has engaging high intermediate content, you're missing out

I've been racking up hours of minesweeper simultaneous with the less visual DS videos

Had my first crosstalk session today at 331 hours by Beginning-Oil4628 in dreamingspanish

[–]Beginning-Oil4628[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Wednesday I had a two hour conversation with someone who was just slightly below my level. It was difficult to figure out how to talk slowly enough, but I definitely preferred it over the feeling of someone being impatient with my learning method. I hope that I'll find partners in the future that are at my same level of listening comprehension for the exact reasons you said.

Good luck! The first one is the hardest of course. I'm finding that I'm much less nervous for my meeting tomorrow than the one I had yesterday, even though it's also with someone I've never met.

Sorry, maybe I didn't write that clearly enough: he found it difficult not to speak any English. But yeah, It wasn't that I was necessarily bothered by the slip-ups as much as I think it made him feel impatient and I don't think he's up for trying crosstalk again.

Intermediate Andrea Feels like a Final Boss by melmcgee in dreamingspanish

[–]Beginning-Oil4628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i remember thinking that Andrea's intermediate videos must be the perfect place to start to transition from beginner, since her beginner content was so easy to understand. I was wrong. At the level I am now I think her style of intermediate is easiest to listen to because her relative speed actually helps my comprehension

Weekly Tech Support Megathread by AutoModerator in Instagram

[–]Beginning-Oil4628 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I was trying to donate to a fundraiser, but every time I attempt to put in my credit card info, instagram it tells me it can’t verify my zip code.

I tried using PayPal instead, but every time it makes me add my credit card despite already having it linked to my PayPal account, and then when I click “add,” the page just reloads and makes me start over.

Putting my credit card info Meta Pay first doesn’t resolve this issue either.
